recieved these cutters in good time and condition. Just in time, as my old set had had it after many years. Needed some 3/8" plugs for a job I was doing, Cut two plugs out of 3/4" hickory,that was it for this cutter as it was dull and burnt. These cutters are junk! The one star is for the case they came in.

Tenon cutter is essentially a beefier version of a plug cutting bit. I ordered this set in hopes that the price would be justified.

The set arrived nicely packaged and considerably more substantial than I had anticipated.
The bits themselves are well machined and of high quality, a pleasant surprise with Chinese made tools and one that evidences their ability to do a quality job when the price point supports it.

The half inch shanks although not hex shaped are long and provide more than adequate gripping surface for virtually any applicable chuck.

I spun up the 3/8th inch bit first and proceeded to cult five perfectly smooth sided, unblemished 1" plugs in less than time than it took to chuck up the bit which included my repositioning of the stock between plunges.

The 5/8ths and 3/4 inch bits preformed in exactly the same manner leaving me grinning like the Cheshire Cat.

So far this has been a great value and the only question remaining is how well they will hold their edge.

All in all a high quality product that outperformed my expectations and delivered well beyond its price point.

I've only used the 3/4" cutter a few times, but it already seems to cut slower (getting dull).
I bought the set because of the price and limited use.
If you plane on using frequently, buy a better set.
